Boise Police responded to a burglary
alarm at a retail store on the 1300 block of North Orchard Street
Sunday evening, February 5th, at approximately 8:50 p.m. Officers
determined the suspects had broken a window at the business and
entered the building to steal five telescopes from the store. The
telescopes have a value of more than $1,000.00. Officers began a
detailed investigation into the burglary.

At approximately 10:00 p.m. the same evening,
Boise Police received a report of an armed robbery at a convenience
store on the 3100 block of West State. A store employee tells
police the suspect, later identified as Alik Takhsilov, entered the
store and produced a knife. The victim tells police the suspect
threatening him while holding the knife near his throat and
demanded money. The suspect left the store with an undisclosed
amount of cash. The victim was able to provide officers with a good
description of the vehicle and a license plate number.

Seconds after the call was received a Boise
Police officer spotted the vehicle and requested backup officers.
Boise Police conducted a felony traffic stop on the suspect vehicle
at 28th and Madison. The two suspects, who were both in the vehicle
at the time of the traffic stop, were taken into custody without
further incident. The knife was recovered from the vehicle. As
officers conducted a detailed investigation of the robbery, they
obtained evidence that indicated the suspects had also been
involved in the burglary earlier that evening. Officers later
recovered the stolen telescopes from the suspects residence on the
400 block of North 28th Street. The suspects were transported to
the Ada County Jail and booked on the above listed charges.
